Abstract
Today we are living in the cusp of a new industrial revolution that differs from all the previous ones. It´s been coined as the Fourth Industrial Revolution (FIR) at the 2011 Hannover Fair. The first industrial revolution powered mainly by the steam engine, the second one by the advent of electrification, mass production and division of labor and the third one by the upcoming of internet, computers, networks and digital machines. What differs the FIR from all the others is that this one is on the edge of artificial intelligence, digital ubiquity, cyber-physical systems and even on the way to “Singularity”: where for the first time machines acquired capabilities that we only consider possible in humans. This means that we are fencing tremendous changes in what concerns to all the aspects of life, i.e. social, economic, cultural and, collaterally, in labor market.
